GPL - Hard to find in stores?

Not sure if this is just a local store market issue..but I can't find GPL. Babbages nor Electronic Boutique, the two main software stores in my area(Burlington VT.), carry it. In fact EB doesn't even carry a listing for the game on their web site, although Babbages does. Is it because sims like GPL are really just a niche market(no offense, I love the demo!!) -- Regards, _Fred

well GPL wasn't even much of a critical success on the mass-market let alone a commercial one, so I doubt many stores are keeping it on the shelf however if you'd like to order it goto http://www.ogr.com and click on the chips and pits link in the upper left, they have it for 19.95

That's odd about EB because that's where I bought my copy here in Chesapeake, VA. >In fact EB doesn't even carry a >listing for the game on their web site, although Babbages does. Is it >because sims like GPL are really just a niche market(no offense, I love >the demo!!)

Go to www.ebay.com and search for grand prix legends. I uyst saw GPL go on a dutch auction for 9.99 plus $5 shipping... not a bad deal. And only 1 person bid on it so a good chance it will show up again. **** Posted from RemarQ - http://www.remarq.com - Discussions Start Here (tm) ****

You guys must be in the boonies. :) In Chicago area the stores have GPL up with all the latest racing releases including SCGT. However, at 19.95 thats an absolute steal! > well GPL wasn't even much of a critical success on the mass-market let alone

I seem to remember people having a hard time finding GPL listed when it was originally released. Reason: it's listed under "Sierra Sports - Grand Prix Legends" rather than just GPL. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.
